Why Kombucha Is The Best Drink To Get Addicted To

Kombucha has got to be my new favorite drink. I get them in bulk, and every time I'm out I always stock up on a few extra. It makes me feel so good and I wondered why. I knew it was super healthy, but I decided to do some research on it and I love what I found. So here are some reasons as to why you should fall in love with Kombucha.

My favorite go-to Kombucha to drink is Brew Dr. Kombucha. It comes in a cute little bottle and tastes amazing. I get it in a six pack from Costco. Yeah, I'm a Kombuchaholic.

The ingredients are very simple and natural. Most bottles contain the same main ingredients. I listed some of my favorite BDK flavors and ingredients so that you can see how simple each bottle is.

Clear mind contains: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Rosemary, Organic Peppermint, Organic Sage, Organic Dandelion Root, Live Probiotic Culture

Lemon Ginger Cayenne: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Ginger, Organic Lemongrass, Organic Cayenne Pepper, Organic Lemon Balm, Live Probiotic Culture

Love: Filtered Water, Organic Jasmine Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Lavender, Organic Chamomile, Organic Damiana, Organic Rose, Live Probiotic Culture

SuperBerry: Filtered Water, Organic Oolong Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Currants, Organic Elderberry, Organic Hibiscus, Organic Rose Hips, Live Probiotic Culture

As I researched Kombucha, I found six reasons why this stuff is so good for you.

1. Detoxification

The detoxifying capacity of kombucha is immense. A perfect example is in its ability to counteract liver cell toxicity.

2. Digestion

Kombucha supports digestion because of its high levels of beneficial acid, probiotics and enzymes.

3. Energy

Formation of iron is released from the black tea during the fermentation process. It also contains some caffeine (although in very small amounts) and b-vitamins, which energizes the body.

Through a special process known as chelation, the iron released helps boost blood hemoglobin, improving oxygen supply to tissues and stimulating the energy-producing process at the cellular level. In other words, by helping the body create more energy (ATP), the tea can help those who regularly drink it stay energized.

4. Immune health

The overall effect that kombucha has to modulate the immune system is best seen in its ability to control antioxidant measures.

5. Cancer prevention

Kombucha is also beneficial for cancer prevention and recovery. A study published in Cancer Letters found that consuming glucaric acid found in kombucha reduced the risk of cancer in humans.

6. Weight loss

Data from a study in 2005 showed evidence that Kombucha improves metabolism and limits fat accumulation.

All of these reasons rock. There is not one outcome from drinking Kombucha that is bad for you. Drinking it can only be positive.

Drink on!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
